Twilla, I remember Uncle Raleigh and Aunt Minta, they had their granddaughters, the twins, Penny and Patty with them, we used to go to their house all the time when we were kids visiting my grandmother, Mattie Combs Jones....I'm sure they wouldn't remember us, our Dad was Jim Jones and my Mom was Christine...Ma (Matt) was our Dad's Mother...we stayed with our grandmother quite a bit...our Uncle and Aunt who lived up on the hill above my grandmother were Elmer and Sally Johnson...they are both deceased now...my name is Jeanette...

Penny, I remember you and Patti when you were little and staying with my Uncle Raleigh and Aunt Minta at Christopher...My sister Susie, my cousin Judy Johnson and me used to come to the house all the time in the summer...I'm 4 years older than you so you may not remember us, it's been a long time since those days. My sister Susie became a nurse too..Do you remember us? We are all cousins.

[Thanks for the information, it is great to know I still have family on the Combs side. So good to hear from you. I remember going to Hazard for vacations alot then when mom and dad split up we never went anymore. Always wonder what happened to everyone. Mom kept in touch with Jack and Leslie and wives. I never knew my dad died for a few months after he had. Mom got notified by SSecurity of his death and Grace had also called her. They were never divorced, so she got his benefits. Please e-mail me at twill@702com.net. would love to visit with you all. I am 54 will be 55 in November. Mom now lives in Wesley Chapel, FL with my brother ED (Bugs) Leslie (Rock) and Ival all live in the area to. Lendall died a few years ago. I now live in Wahpeton, ND and am an Insurance Agent with a large bank corporation. Just a job and kinda looking forward to retirement. Please e-mail. Great to hear from you all......Twilla

Twilla, Patti and I just turned 53 June 16th. My daughter Alice Ann's BD is in November the 22nd, she was a Thanksgiving baby. She will be 32. My other daughter will be 34 in January. I'm so sorry to hear about Lendal. He called at your Dad's house the day of Edwin's funeral. I talked to him then. I remember when we all got together when we were kids. We would go down on the river bank and wade in the shallow water, slip and slide on all the rocks.. Ma would'nt let us go out into the deep. I always said I was born on the river bank but never learned to swim. But we always had alot of fun and got along well. I remember your pretty blue eyes. I have a few pictures of you. I try to look them up for you and send them to you. There is an article on hazardkentucky.com just look up 1957 flood. There is an article about our Grandma being interviewed after the flood about her bring us to your house in Madison, Indiana for a few days. It starts.. What was you doing 40 some years ago (Mrs. Rollie Combs). I know our aunt Louise's daughter Marlane Lackey who lives in Dayton, Ohio has some video tapes and pictures of all of us when we were kids. I asked her for a copy a few years ago, but she said she had them up in the attic. I hope one day she remembers to give me a copy. Louise and her husband Cecil Tracy came in every summer to visit and he had an 8mm movie camera. He was always taking pictures and movies. Ma use to put Patti and I on a bus with two suitcases . One with clothes and the other with fresh garden vegetables. And she would send a note by the bus driver on instructions were we were going and who was picking us up. We went every summer to Dayton, Ohio. We were around 8 when we started going. I would'nt put my kids on a bus like that today!. I told Patti I had gotten an e-mail from you. I gave her your address. Hers is pattiLevans52@aol.com. Hope to hear from you soon. Love Ya! Penny
